Monkeysphere: an OpenPGP-based PKI for SSH

- -

Ever thought that there should be an automated way to handle ssh -keys? Do you know the administrators of your servers, and wish that -SSH could verify new host keys from them automatically, based on your -personal connections to the web-of-trust? Do you wish you could -revoke and/or rotate your old SSH authentication keys without having -to log into every single machine you have an account on?

- -

Do you administer servers, and wish you could re-key them without -sowing massive confusion among your users (or worse, encouraging bad -security habits among them)? Do you wish you could grant access to -your users by name, instead of by opaque string? Do you wish you -could rapidly revoke access to a user (or compromised key) across a -group of machines by disabling authentication for that user?

- -

A group of us have been working on a public key infrastructure for -SSH. Monkeysphere makes use -of the existing OpenPGP web-of-trust to fetch and cryptographically -validate (and revoke!) keys. This works in both direction: -authorized_keys and known_hosts are -handled. Monkeysphere gives users and admins tools to deal with SSH -keys by thinking about the people and machines to whom the keys -belong, instead of requiring humans to do tedious (and error-prone) -manual key verification.

- -

We have debian -packages available which should install against lenny (for i386, -amd64, powerpc, and arm architectures at the moment), a mailing -list, and open ears for good questions, suggestions and -criticism.

- -

If you have a chance to give it a try (as a -user or as an -admin), it would be great to get -feedback.
